Recording macros
What is it that you think this macro is supposed to do?
From your description, it selects the text from the cursor to the end of the current paragraph It copies the selected text to the clipboard, then pastes it back over the selection, so while the macro is undoubtedly working, it will not appear to do anything as the end result will be the same as what you started with (though you should still have the selected text stored in the clipboard). -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org cantgetit wrote: Can anyone help I am confused. trying to record a macro by copying these are the steps I am doing record macro assign keyboard shortcut ctrl shift down arrow to select text ctrl c to copy ctrl v to past stop recoring macro button I must be missing something as it is not working Can you see what I am missing please thanks in advance |

In that case, you'd be better advised to use AutoText; see

Then you need something like
Sub Duplicate_Para() With Selection .StartOf Unit:=wdParagraph .MoveEnd Unit:=wdParagraph .Copy .EndKey .TypeParagraph .Paste .Delete End With End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org cantgetit wrote: "Graham Mayor" wrote: What is it that you think this macro is supposed to do?

You can store as many AutoText entries as you like and assign a keyboard
shortcut to each one, or you can type the first four letters of the entry name and press Enter or F3 (depending on version) to insert it. -- Suzanne S.
